Did you put a gen 2 flywheel on? Is that why you had to get the flywheel bolts? That's awesome actually I thought it might have been more money. It seem to be faster and stuff than the stock 1st gen? Thanks

I am using the 4th gen ecu. It's the AT ECU.

1050 for the engine shipped.500 for the harness/including shipping.20 for gen 2 flywheel bolts.

I have a few extra costs coming up just for intake and such, nothing special, maybe another 200(msd adapter for tach, intake, etc). I will admit that I did this in a way most wouldn't have, but I gambled and all seems well so far. My gamble was that I took what I received motor wise and installed with no maintenance aside from flushing where fluids go. I plan to do a tune up soon, but I really just wanted to get the motor installed and tested.

No, still the flywheel that was installed in the 1st gen, just for some reason the bolts were skinnier at the threads. Seemed a little odd, but got used bolts and all is well.

And the motor on the surface seems to be leaps and bounds ahead of the 1st gen. Smooth reving and seems to really want to go with the little I have driven her.

Yes. And no worries. Glad to actually have experience with something now that can be useful to the community lol.

And it did seem weird to me also lol. When I went to install the flywheel the bolts I had off the 1st gen just slid in. I was puzzled since I though all the bolts were the same.

Summary:-She starts and drive fairly well for no exhaust and a dead wheel bearing.-Need to get new seats as I hate how heavy the stock ones are.-I need to finish reassembling the interior.-Still have to mount the hood and cut a hole for the IC.-Immediate plans - Get a DP from Prime MR2 and an ebay exhaust for a st185 as it seems thos fit my Alltrac.

Agreed, I would prefer FMIC, but this is the quickest way to get it up and running and not start spending more and more money lol. I would rather address things like that after I address what is needed, which is exhaust, bearing and interior for me. FMIC can be done later and a hole in the hood shouldn't be too hard to do. With any luck, when it comes time to go front mount I can afford a FG hood lol.

Finally replaced the bearing on my Alltrac with the help(read:I mostly sat there and let him do the work lol) of a friend.Order a 3" DP and exhaust.In the process of replacing the ball joints and outer tie rods on both sides.

Hope to have pics soon, just been spending alot of time on my oldest sons car, getting it ready for him to drive.

I assumed you used an ST185 ebay exhaust. Any issues installing it or modifications due to fitment?

Yes, 185 exhaust. Zero issues with fitment except for the muffler. That issue was caused by the bumper though, since its not the stock one. All the hangers matched up but I needed to use the ring exhaust rubber hangers instead of some other options.

I was just happy I could get a DP that mounted up to the exhaust system fine.
